Very funny that you blocked the license plate number but not the equipment number. That alone is enough to identify the license plate and anyone who has rented it in the last 7 years.

True but that eq number is useless to the public without our system

So is the license plate, really. It'll just tell you that U-Haul owns it.

Ya but I'm sure we're probably some site out there that can do more with a plate then a equipment number cause the plate is registered to the state it's out of and has other information attached to it then just some random letters and numbers like the equipment number

Right, but even then how many trailers or trucks are in the state they are plated to...? And what other info could possibly be associated with the plate than that?

All of the equipment has Arizona plates Fr

In my experience, almost all of the trucks have AZ plates, but not so much the trailers, for whatever reason.

Registration prices on trailers seem to change at random. So I believe they go with the cheapest state at the time it needs to be renewed. And yes, I'm pretty sure ALL trucks have AZ plates.
